  • There is functionally no difference between a 145% and a 245% tariff.

    The cost of going through a black market rather than a clear or grey one is likely already below 145% and the grey one is likely to fill most gaps in the long run anyways.

    Grey market tariff skirting might be Canadian or UK companies slapping their logos and “made in X” marker after making a tiny change to the product. The barrier to entry on this is quite low as is the risk. If your profit is capped at 145% you still have a lot of room to make money.



  • Yes it is. Murder is already illegal. Abortion had nothing to do with it except a pretext,

    The proposed law would have prevented the situation should it have been followed, which is the point.

    In the next bill you shared

    “existing criminal law does not recognize the injury or death caused to a preborn child as a separate offence when a pregnant woman is the victim of a crime, even if the sole purpose of her attacker is to kill her child;”

    This is another response to a man dictating what he thinks should happen with a pregnant woman’s body.

    . I got 3 more like this where PP voted Yes.

    Are any of them not in response to a man murdering a woman? Because I’d probably be more convinced by that.



    1. The Criminal Code is amended by adding the following after section 264.1: Coercion in relation to an abortion 264.2 (1) Every one who coerces a female person to procure or attempt to procure an abortion for herself is guilty of (a) an indictable offence and liable to imprisonment for a term not exceeding five years; or (b) an offence punishable on summary conviction and liable to imprisonment for a term not exceeding eighteen months. Attempted coercion (2) Every one who attempts to coerce a female person to procure an abortion for herself is guilty of (a) an indictable offence and liable to imprisonment for a term not exceeding two years; or (b) an offence punishable on summary conviction and liable to imprisonment for a term not exceeding six months.

    This was prompted because a man murdered his partner who refused to get an abortion that he wanted her to get. This is not the pro-pregnant person dunk you might think it is.





  • This whole thing is just so incomprehensiblely stupid and real world usage numbers prove it:

    According to Wikimedia Statistics, Cebuano Wikipedia currently reels in tens of thousands of page views from the Philippines each month.

    English Wikipedia, meanwhile, gets more than 100 million Filipino viewers per month.

    If people wanted AN AUTOMATED TRANSLATION they could just go to the English page and use one of the many free page translation tools that exist. Who even asked him to do this? Or is it just more white saviour complex?











  • Choi bit off part of the tongue of a man who allegedly tried to rape her, it was she who was labeled the aggressor and jailed for grievous bodily harm.

    At the time, Choi was 18 and living at home with her family. Now 78, she’s trying to clear her name in the hope that vindication will pave the way for other victims of sexual crime in South Korea, one of the world’s most advanced economies but one where society remains deeply patriarchal.

    “I dunno, an 18 year old woman living with her parents sounds pretty dangerous to me, surely she just found a random man on the street, reached into his mouth and bit the tip of his tongue off.”

    I’m honestly surprised it took this long for SK to have widespread feminist backlash. What a horrid place for women to exist.
